We’re working with Samsung and hope to have an approved Nougat OS file to roll out to our Galaxy S7 customers shortly

According to the post, this latest Android update will be the first release to exclude the Google Nexus 6, which launched back in 2014.

Unless Google changes its plans, the Nexus 6 will not be updated again – following the Android 7.1.1 update it received early this month.

Samsung Galaxy S8 looks set to be the smartphone to beat this year. Following a swathe of rumours from the Chinese supply chain, a number of graphic designers have cooked-up high-resolution renders of what the smartphone could look like, when it launches in the UK in April 2017

Samsung Galaxy S8 will get a dramatic new design, with no buttons, and an edge-to-edge display

However, anyone with a Galaxy S7 on contract from a UK mobile operator look likely to get Android Nougat in the coming weeks.

This is due to the networks having to test the software before it's pushed out to customers.

Testing is hugely important for operators as it gives them the chance to stop any bugs before the upgrade lands on devices.

In a statement to Express.co.uk, an EE spokesperson said: "Like the majority of UK networks, we’re working with Samsung and hope to have an approved nougat O/S file to roll out to our Galaxy S7 customers shortly.”
